Troubleshooting
PROBLEM
If you hear a repetitive trouble alarm
when you try to arm the system, and it
does not arm.
If the alarm trips when you enter the
house before you have time to disarm it.
Lights will not turn on or off from the
LIGHT ON or LIGHT OFF buttons on the
Remote.
SOLUTION
Check the zone indicators. If a door or
window is open, its zone indicator is on.
If there is a problem with a Sensor or
Motion Detector, its zone indicator
flashes slowly. Either:
• Press DISARM. Check each Door/
Window Sensor is working properly
and that no doors or windows are
open. Then arm the system.
Or:
• While the trouble alarm is sounding,
press BYPASS to override the
problem zone (its zone indicator then
flashes rapidly). Then arm the system
again.
Arm the system in the delay mode.
To do this: Set the MIN/MAX switch on
the entrance Door/Window Sensor to
MAX and the Handheld Remote to MAX
and then press ARM.
• Be sure you set House and Unit
Codes on the module(s) to the same
letter and number as set on the
Console.
• Be sure the light you are trying to
control has its on/off switch in the on
position. Be sure its bulb is good.
• Plug the module into another outlet
near the Console.
• Check that the battery indicator on the
Remote comes on when you press a
button. Replace battery and reinstall
remote if necessary.

Troubleshooting
PROBLEM
You open a door or window and the
alarm does not trip.
If appliances turn off during an alarm.
If you do not hear a beep from the
Console when you press ARM to install a
Remote.
SOLUTION
• Check that the system is armed.
• Check that the console's slide switch
is set to RUN1 or RUN2.
• Check to see if the alarm trips when
you press TEST on the Door/Window
Sensor.
• If the alarm does not trip when you
press TEST, check that the indicator
on the sensor comes on when you
press TEST.
If the indicator does not come on,
replace the battery and reinstall the
sensor if necessary.
The system flashes lights by repetitively
transmitting all lights on/all units off.
Any appliance modules set to the same
House Code as the Console will
therefore turn off.
Check to see if you can arm the system
when the Console is in the RUN mode. If
you can, the Remote is already installed
and no further action is necessary. If not:
• Check that the Console's slide switch
is set to INSTALL.
• Re-initialize the remote (see page 7 &
8).
